;B[fq]C[I intended to go for mini or micro chinese.];W[fo]C[This puts a crimp in my plans. I don't really want my mini/micro to be invaded on the 8th move!

What if I follow?];B[hp]C[This feels like my territory is far more secure than his, and I'm making a profit that might last me the whole game, while I can still take his profit away, so I am okay with continuing.];W[hn];B[jo]
;W[jm]C[Okay. I can't let him solidify his moyo. Time to act.];B[ce];W[cc];B[dh];W[cj];B[ci];W[nc];B[pf];W[kd];B[pj];W[dj]

;B[fg]L[gd][hd][id][hf]C[Trying to keep opitons open for more eyespace, and possible future  extensions/invasions.];W[hh]C[I don't like his moyo, especially if he kills my top left group.];B[cq]
;W[ph]C[I did not expect the counter-invasion!]
(;B[qh]C[I wonder if I shouldhave enclosed the outisde?];W[qg];B[pg];W[qi];B[rh]
;W[pi]C[I didn't expect this move so early. I wanted to force it with an atari on 30];B[rj]C[I  tried to read this one out for a long time, and I did actually figure out most of the short term impacts. However, I was too optimistic about it's chances of really surrounding, I think.];W[ri];B[rg];W[qj];B[qk]
;W[rk]C[Here I wonder if he will live low and small or if he will take the outside. Outside is better for him.];B[rl]
;W[pk]C[He wants the outside.];B[sk];W[oj];B[pl];W[ol];B[nk];W[ok];B[om];W[pm];B[ql]
;W[mm]C[Nooo! I wanted to move here later];B[nm]

(;W[dq]
;B[dr]C[Ok, that was unexpected. His abandonment in top right leaves some tasty treats for later, if I hit first.];W[er];B[cr]
(;W[cp]C[This feels likea mistake. I should punish it now, here, but I get optimistic about killing his middle group.]
(;B[km]
;W[kl]C[I want this ko fight so bad!];B[im]
;W[jl]C[He does NOT want this ko fight at all.];B[oi];W[oh]
;B[ni]C[Somewhere around here is where I have to leave and come back, and I lose focus.];W[nh]
;B[ml]C[I really tried hard to read this move. I focused and focused, but immediately after I clicked it, I knew it wasn't going to work.];W[ll]C[I can't afford to make him any stronger here, for the time being. Right now i decide that the only way these stones will do their work is if I come in and link up to them later.];B[qb]C[Starting my plan to link to my middle stones.];W[eq]C[D'oh! I may not be able to save that corner now.

Still, maybe something will change later.];B[ob]C[contnuing my plan];W[bp]
;B[kb]L[ma]C[I believe (can't swear) that this is a jumpy monk with a virtual connection at A.

I would love to get a base in his moyo an take away his points, but I hope to also use this move to get into the middle and use my dead stones there for somethng.];W[ib];B[nb]
;W[bj]C[Uh-oh. I wonder if I can live here. I wonder if I can spare the moves.];B[bi];W[nf];B[nd]
;W[ff]C[This did not seem like a big threat to me at the time. I should have payed more attention.];B[jc]C[Trying to claim more board];W[bd];B[be];W[ae]
;B[af]C[I don't like where this is headed.];W[df]C[I completely misread the threat of this move. Repeatedly as the game progressed. Over and over again.];B[cd]C[I find myself faced with a highly questionable situation, so I decide to ask myself:

"What would Lee Sedol do?" (WWLSD)

Answer: Find something to kill!

Per my (weak) reading, I seem to have a decent shot over here, so let's see if I can turn his  attack around on him.];W[bb];B[ac];W[bc];B[dc];W[dd];B[db];W[ec];B[ca]
;W[ad]TR[dc][db]L[cf]C[Nowmy reading tells me that I can't win the corner race, so I look for extra liberties.

What I do not see is the danger right around the corner at A if I let up the sente pressure.]
(;B[eb];W[cf];B[bf];W[bg]
;B[ag]C[I honestly was reading this as his next move would be in Atari for some reason. No idea why.

I just couldn't read the trap.];W[ah];B[fc]
;W[gc]C[I try to recover, but I'm in a funk, not thinking well, after losing the corner and he whole side.]
(;B[hc]C[I hated this move the minute I clicked it.];W[fb];B[fd];W[gd]
;B[gb]TR[fb]C[Still shaken, still misreading. For some reason I thought I could capture the marked stone after an extend.];W[fa]C[Still misreading];B[ga]C[About here is where I realize I'm being dumb. Far too late!];W[fe]
;B[mc]C[Well, I couldn't save the left side or corner, so lets see if I can secure some fo the top side and maybe use the aji of my (dead) groups in the middle.];W[mk];B[if];W[id];B[jd];W[jh];B[kf];W[en]
;B[fr]C[I didnt want a monkey jump in the middle of my center-board plays, and if he ignored I could link to the dead group.];W[fs]C[I didn't expect this for some reason. Thought it would be at E1. Good lesson for me.];B[gs]
;W[es]C[I thought long and hard about connecting 133 immediately, but I thought the center was more important, and likely to be sente.

I didnt' want to be sealed out.]
(;B[lh]
;W[mi]C[I was right!];B[hr];W[in]

;W[je];B[ke];W[ng];B[mj]
;W[oq]C[for some reason I hadn't expected this.];B[po]C[Don't want him to link to 52. Just seems bad.];W[qr]
;B[nq]C[I feel like if I don't contact, he will get life easily.];W[nr];B[mr]
;W[or]C[I want to play at S3, but I'm afraid of the complicatons.]
(;B[mp]C[Too slow, considering the other branch];W[ns]

Would have been at S3, most likely];W[rq];B[qq];W[rs];B[sr];W[pq];B[ps];W[sq];B[rp];W[ss];B[qs]

;B[gi]C[I think this move was too early; I needed to break the  string out first (which ended up not even being possible)];W[eh];B[gh];W[eg];B[go];W[fl];B[gn]
;W[hm]C[Not enough liberties!

Now I feel resigned to loss.];B[il];W[fn];B[ie]
